President Donald Trump just set Truth Social on fire—literally—with a savage throwback remix of “Barbara Ann” turned war cry.
In a video montage posted Monday, Trump shared a parody of the Beach Boys’ classic, reworked as “Bomb Iran”—complete with footage of B-2 stealth bombers roaring across the sky.
The parody, originally made famous by Vince Vance & the Valiants during the 1980s post-hostage crisis era, includes explosive lyrics like:
“Ol’ Uncle Sam’s getting pretty hot, time to turn Iran into a parking lot.”
The track itself has a history of making liberals squirm. Senator John McCain caught flak for singing it on the campaign trail back in 2007. Now, nearly two decades later, Trump has brought it roaring back—with bomber visuals and all—amid escalating tensions between Israel and Iran.
But Trump wasn’t the only one bringing the heat in meme warfare.
On the other side of the world, Iran’s state-run TV decided to counter with a Lego cartoon. Yes, really. The bizarre animation, aired on official Iranian media, shows Lego soldiers waving flags, firing missiles at Israel, and a blocky, cheeseburger-eating Lego Trump chatting with a Lego Netanyahu over the phone.
If the world feels like a strange blend of satire and geopolitics—it’s because it is.
Trump’s post struck a chord with his base, echoing Reagan-era confidence with 2024 digital bravado. And while some pearl-clutchers online are already screeching, Trump’s message was crystal clear: America’s not backing down.
